if the is a ":" for example in the %album% the ":" should be replaced or filtered out when using  
Konverter \> Tag - Dateiname

But maybe the problem is not the ":" but a "\\" in the new filename.  
This is my formatstring:  
%band%\%album%$num(%track%,2) %artist% - %title%  
but if for example the %band% is empty, the new filepath looks like this:

G:\Musik\\blablabla\01 blablabla  
Better would be:  
G:\Musik\blablabla\01 blablabla  
or  
G:\Musik\_\blablabla\01 blablabla

or better: the %artist% should be used by default if %band% is empty (this is the way some other programs do)
